Roey Benamotz's Fidget Logic Puts Boolean Logic Gates and LEDs in Your Idle Hands
Designed as a marginally-more-educational fidget toy than usual, the Logic Gates board is compact and battery-powered.
Roey Benamotz has designed a fidget toy with a difference: Rather than spinning or simply clicking, the Fidget Logic board lets you fiddle with switches while learning about basic Boolean logic.
"[It's] a fun and educational fidgety board that demonstrates basic logic functions," Benamotz explains of the project. "It has no practical use other than answer the need for restless hand and the satisfaction of tactile buttons and cool color LEDs."
"It is basically similar to the fidget cube other similar toys but instead of providing useless buttons that do not do anything, this one provides some feedback in the shape of AND, OR, and XOR operations."
The board is based around AND, OR, and XOR gates, with a holder for a button-cell battery on the rear — and while it arrives fully assembled, the battery is not included.
Benamotz is selling the Fidget Logic on Tindie for $14.99, while those who want to make their own can find design files and a bill of material on EasyEDA under the GNU General Public License 3.0.
